GeForce 2 400 MX help needed

I was looking for an adapter for my GeForce 2 400 MX tv-out this weekend, and I just can't find one anywhere. I was told it was s-vhs out, but I had my suspicions that that wasn't true.
The connector says tv-out but is actually exactly the same as a PS/2 connector, has anyone got any idea what this is called and how it works, or even better an adaptor that gives signal to composite or svideo?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can get the cables from most AV shops. They are usually marked S-Video or S-VHS cables.

No, really it IS exactly the same as a PS/2 connector, I even plugged my keyboard into it to triple check. Obviously the card wasn't installed at the time.
I have svideo equipment, so I know what the pin-out looks like.
Can anyone else help me?

The port is an svideo port. It may look like it has a couple of extra pins (I think those are for the svideo to RCA adapter). Just plug an svideo cable from it to a TV and it will work.

Unless they did like Leadtek did a few years ago and put a proprietary cable connector on it.

I can assure you that the 6-pin connector on THOSE cards are NOT normal svideo cables... In fact the pin-out doesn't even match up with a svideo cable...

Come to think of it....


It might be a cable to a break-out box as one of my old GeForce 2s had a multi-pin cable which went to a break-out box with SVHS out and Composite out. In which case, you should of got that when you bought the card as a complete kit.
